The only shame was that big kids were at this playground throwing the wood shavings and throwing bottles at each other, not good for the little kids playing nearby. Many of the families left. This might have been an one off but it wasn't pleasant having them throw things from across the playground. There is plenty of grass area to run and play sports. The parking lot was a good size as well.

At one point my 6 year old poked his head out of one of the portholes in the pirate ship and yelled "THIS PARK IS AWESOME!" (this coming from the kid who rarely enjoys things if its not on a screen ). Splash pad was closed because it was November, but that look pretty cool too. There's also a sign with pictures of the park construction, which was done by the community - my thanks go out to those folks who gave our family a fun afternoon on our trip!

Located along the Swinomish Channel in La Conner, Pioneer Park isn't the fancy-pantsiest park I've…read moreever been to, but it's a nice place to sit with a friend on a sunny day and watch the boats go by. Marked by the aptly-named Rainbow Bridge, the waterfront portion of the park includes a playground (closed during our visit, due to covid restrictions), a few picnic tables, and easy-to-stroll paved paths along the channel. Besides photographing the impressive bridge from below, the park's best feature are the many boats, trawlers and sailboats navigating past. I'm not sure I'd make this a destination park, but it was a great place to stop while already enjoying an afternoon in La Conner.

Picnic tables and even a fun trail that takes you up and underneath the bridge for a fun unique view.

Neat little park tucked in between buildings near the end of the main strip of shops in La Conner along the waterfront. It doesn't look like much from the street - just a narrow opening where a building likely used to be that the town made into a park. But the back opens up to a beautiful view of the water, Rainbow Bridge nearby and a small boardwalk along the waterfront where boats dock. Don't forget to stop and pay your respects to Dirty Biter, the dog statue near the front of the park. A local town hero from the 70s and 80s that people still talk about today. This pooch was clearly a character and clearly very loved by the community - he used to hang out near here and frequented the bar next door for snacks before returning home each day. Dirty Biter isn't just a funny named dog with a crooked jaw - he's a legend. RIP Dirty Biter pup.

There are so many beautiful bridges here! I am impressed by the beauty and engineering of a bridge. I read about this bridge before visiting La Connor and was pleasantly surpised when taking a walk on the waterfront I turned around and saw it! I had read abut it being an orange bridge shaped like a rainbow. The view from where I was standing offerred a beautiful photo opportunity which I gladly took! I was close enought to do a check in, so I did. Next time I come to this small town I will drive up to this gorgeous bridge for more close up photos. WA, I am beginning to really really love you.

Rays still made it through the canopy to the trails. When I arrived around 10:10 a.m., I found one parking spot so snatched it up. Just up from the parking lot was an informational pavilion with maps of the trail system. Even with taking a picture I did not quite make it to the top. The trails I traversed were marked by a trail number as opposed to a destination and/or distance marking approach. I did not find this entirely discouraging, however I had come for a drive to a viewpoint I had heard about and missed that entirely. I turned around after about 20 minutes of hiking and went back to my car. The portion of the hike I took up the mountain got my heart pounding. One of the highlights of my visit was a caterpillar I found dancing on a mushroom on a log along the side of one of the trails.

The trail,…read morewhich is paved, is part of a larger walking and cycling trail that winds through this part of town. I put park in quote marks because it's really just those two things - a walking/cycling trail and a bridge. There isn't any large grassy areas, for instance. I wouldn't say that going down to the water was encouraged yet there were some folks down there. Lots of people with relatives, kids, dogs, lots of cyclists going both directions. It is a birding draw - although the birds were being coy on the day we were there. Importantly, it is right next to (meaning the bridge is right next to) the Dungeness River Nature Center, which is definitely worth checking out and won't slow you down if you are antsy to walk/jog/cycle - it's small but very nice (reviewed separately). As an FYI and this is not something you should be worried about necessarily but this area does have coyotes - more so at night.
